Description Sergey Fedorov 2017-03-14 10:46:00 UTC 
I noticed that the timeout after entering incorrect password is fixed. It would be nice if this parameter could be configured, preferably up to milliseconds.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Lock screen
2. Enter incorrect password
3. Try to enter correct password immediately

Actual Results:  
Password field is locked for 3 seconds.

Expected Results:  
Timeout could be configured so that correct password may be entered without waiting.

This is a security feature. Making it configurable would completly destroy the porpuse of the security feature. I'm sorry this has no chance to get implemented.
